前幾天在看網易雲音樂2017年度歌單時,猛然間發現這哪是我的歌單啊,明明是兒子們的歌單。
相信每個在自己孩子2歲以後就有意給孩子學英文的家長,對這些歌曲都不會陌生,也都有相同的經歷:
① 找最正宗的英文兒歌
聽英文兒歌摸耳朵這件事,在孩子幼年階段是比較容易做而且切實可行的。可惜的是國內視頻網站上,雖然有英文兒歌,但都不成體系,或者畫面粗糙、中式發音等問題。
優酷上播放量最大的《Twinkle Twinkle Littlestar》版本,我聽上去感覺是一個山東孩子唱的△
找到最正宗、最成體系的英文兒歌,還得是YouTube。不過因為種種原因,國內要翻牆才能訪問到,還好自己在翻牆越獄這種事情上,積累了至少了15年的經驗。
YouTube上我訂閱了一部分兒歌頻道列表△
YouTube雖然翻牆可以訪問,但是最方便的還是把視頻下載到家裡,放到手機和電視裡。為了給孩子聽到最純正的英文兒歌,我幾乎把YouTube最受歡迎的兒歌都下載了一個遍。正好借著這個公眾號,如果能把下載好的視頻,分享給其他的爸爸媽媽,應該也是一件功德無量的事情,畢竟大部分爸爸媽媽還不能熟練翻牆。
今天先分享YouTube上,數一數二的Little Baby Bum出品的兒歌。
② 最正宗,而且最受英美孩子歡迎的Little Baby Bum
這是一對英國的夫婦在2011年創建的一個兒歌頻道,起初他們是覺得給他們女兒看的兒歌視頻,要麼是畫面不好看,要麼是不好聽,於是兩個人自己動手,在2011年製作了一個30秒鐘的第一首兒歌《Twinkle Twinkle Littlestar》,上傳的當月在YouTube點擊就超過了15000次。
目前是YouTube上,訂閱量最大的兒歌頻道第二位,超過了1300萬訂閱量。最近剛被CHU CHU TV超過(CHU CHU TV我後面會做詳細介紹和他們的視頻下載)
Little Baby Bum頻道中,播放量最大的是一部54分鐘超長版本的《The Wheel On The Bus》,超過20億次觀看,這種超長版本的兒歌受到家長歡迎的原因,就是家長可以一次性打開,讓孩子們安靜1個小時,而不需要家長頻繁的操作每個2分鐘的兒歌了。
比20億次觀看次數多的, 應該也就是幾年前《江南style》這種爆款了,不過想到我兒子一個月就喜歡聽一首歌的情況,在兒歌頻道有超過上20億次的播放,也不奇怪了。
鑑於這家英國公司在YouTube上叱吒風雲,英國的《衛報》都專門發文報導。算是給日不落帝國在日落的時代,增加了一抹餘光:
Little Baby Bum的兒歌中,經常出現的幾個卡通形象:
Little Baby Bum的兒歌基本都只用一架電子琴配樂,畫面相對其他兒歌也比較乾淨,方便集中孩子的注意力。另外每首歌的長度基本不會超過2分鐘,非常符合這個年齡段孩子注意力短的特點。而且跟其他YouTube上的兒歌頻道比,他們的兒歌語速相對偏慢,比較適合非英語國家的孩子聽。
當然,Little Baby Bum出自英國夫婦,當然是一口地道的「倫敦腔」了。
③ YouTube上,點擊量最高的18首Little Baby Bum兒歌
Little Baby Bum播放量排行,前30首都超過了1億次播放:
微信要求個人公眾號一篇文章只能放3個視頻,所以大部分的兒歌,我只能用一張圖片代替了。
大家如果要下載或者在線看的話,可以關注公眾號後,回復English Song或者lbb獲取。這裡非常推薦家長們下載下來觀看,因為這些兒歌一個是在國內不好找,另外就是我自己用軟體給所有兒歌加了英文字幕,稍微大一點的孩子,還可以邊聽歌邊學單詞。
增加了與氣球顏色一致的顏色字幕,算是字幕界的良心了△
經典的兒歌
1.《Twinkle Twinkle Littlestar》:Little Baby Bum這個版本的配樂更簡單,聲音更溫柔,適合寶寶睡前聽:
Twinkle, twinkle, littlestar,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
2.《London bridge is falling down》:Little Baby Bum的版本,對原來的簡單不停循環的London bridge is falling down進行了增加,增加了London bridge is now been saved by PIG的光明結尾:
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady
Who can help to save the bridge?
Save the bridge, save the bridge
Who can help to save the bridge?
My fair lady
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady
Superhero Pig can help
Pig can help, Pig can help
Superhero Pig can help
My fair lady
Now the monster he has gone
He has gone, he has gone
Now the monster he has gone
My fair lady
London Bridge has now been saved
Now been saved, now been saved
London Bridge has now been saved
My fair lady!
3.《Hickory Dickory Dock 》:每次聽到都能想到我們小時候「小老鼠,上燈臺, 偷油喝,下不來, 叫奶奶,逮貓來, 喵喵喵,貓來了...」的兒歌。
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck two
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock!

The clock struck four

4.《Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed》:太經典英文兒歌了,跟《 Five little ducks》類似,都是通過小故事,教孩子數數。
Five Little Monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said
"No more jumping on the bed!"
Four Little Monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped her head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said
"No more jumping on the bed!"
Three Little Monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped her head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said
"No more jumping on the bed!"
Two Little Monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said
"No more jumping on the bed!"
One Little Monkey jumping on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said
"No more jumping on the bed!"
5.《If You're Happy And You Know It》:這首全身動起來的歌,孩子可以從2歲一直聽到20歲了,Little Baby Bum的版本勝在動畫角色可愛,尤其是粉小豬stomp her feet的時候。
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it pat your head
If you're happy and you know it pat your head
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it pat your head
If you're happy and you know it turn around
If you're happy and you know it turn around
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it turn around
If you're happy and you know it say "hello"
"Hello!"
If you're happy and you know it say "hello"
"Hello!"
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it say "hello"
"Hello!"
6.《The Wheel On The Bus》:Little Baby Bum做了很多版本的《The Wheel On The Bus》,這個版本是最基礎的,包括了wheels、wipers、people、doors等車上的基本動作。
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish
All through the town
The people on the bus go up and down
Up and down, up and down
The people on the bus go up and down
All through the town
The doors on the bus go open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The doors on the bus go open and shut
All through the town
The money on the bus goes clink, clink, clink,
Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink
The money on the bus goes clink, clink, clink
All through the town
The driver on the bus says "Move on back!"
"Move on back!" "Move on back!"
The driver on the bus says "Move on back!"
All through the town
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep
All through the town
原創的兒歌,寶寶的日常生活:
7.《This Is The Way We Brush Our Teeth》:刷牙歌,學英文的同時,還能引起寶寶對刷牙的好奇,養成良好的刷牙習慣。家長可以在孩子每天刷牙前給孩子看一下。Little Baby Bum的版本在經典的《This is the way》的基礎上,增加了很多刷牙方法和習慣的部分。
First, take your toothbrush
Next, add a small amount of toothpaste
now.... Brush!
This is the way we brush our teeth
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth
This is the way we brush our teeth
We do it in the morning!
Brushing up and brushing down
Left and right and round and round
A nice white smile will then be found!
We've brushed really well!
This is the way we brush our teeth
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth
This is the way we brush our teeth
We do it in the evening!
Brushing left and brushing right
Brushing 'til our teeth are bright!
Then we say [yawn] "good night!"
We've brushed really well!
This is the way we brush our teeth
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth
This is the way we brush our teeth
We do it twice a day
8.《Getting Dressed Song》:適合3歲以上的孩子,一個是能激發孩子自己動手穿衣服的興趣,另外教給孩子認識身體每個部位的英文。
I am learning to get dressed
I'm learning what to do!
This is how I put on my shirt
This is how I pull on my trousers
This is how I pull up my socks
This is how I slip on my shoes
I am learning to get dressed
I'm learning what to do!
This is how I put on my blouse
This is how I pull on my skirt
This is how I pull up my socks
This is how I slip on my shoes
9.《Bath Song》:這首是Little Baby Bum原創的兒歌,不像傳統的兒歌那樣入耳動聽,不過勝在動畫做的好。孩子可以跟著動畫學洗澡以及身體每個部位的名字。
I wash - wash, wash my hair
I wash - wash, wash my face
I wash - wash, wash my shoulders
I wash - wash, wash my arms
I really love having baths
It's great to be clean!
Splash! Splash!
I wash - wash, wash my legs
I wash - wash, wash my feet
I wash - wash, wash my toes
I wash - wash, wash my hands
Ah! Nice and clean now!
10.《Swimming Song》也是Little Baby Bum原創的兒歌,可以激發孩子對遊泳的好奇心。
Let's go swimming, it's so much fun
To play in the water with everyone
Let's go swimming, it's really fun to do
It's true!
We can swim on our backs
Swim on our sides
Paddle all around
Make a splash so high
We can swim at the pool
Or swim in the sea
And you can really have a great time
Just wait and see
What you can do... oh yeah!
Let's go swimming, it's so much fun
To play in the water with everyone
Let's go swimming, it's really fun to do
It's true!

Swim on our sides

Make a splash so high
We can swim at the pool
Or swim in the sea
And you can really have a great time
Just wait and see
What you can do.. oh yeah!
11.《1, 2 What Shall We Do》也是Little Baby Bum原創的兒歌,通過主人公Mia,一步步做蛋糕的,教孩子學會數字,做事情的條理性。
One two what shall we do?
Three four measure and pour
Five six whisk and mix
Seven eight bake the cake
Nine ten in the oven
One two what shall we do?
Three four measure and pour
Five six whisk and mix
Seven eight pipe the cake
Nine ten do it again!
One two what shall we do?
Three four fill and pour
Five six spoon to lick
Seven eight eat the cake

12.《Monsters Song For Children _ No Monsters Who Live In Our Home!》這首兒歌非常適合3歲以上的孩子,這個階段的孩子開始知道有大怪獸,開始害怕大怪獸,這首歌告訴孩子們,家裡只有他們最愛的家人,而沒有大怪獸。
Hey You! ....Boo!
Did you hear that sound?
Is it a monster that I've found?
There are no monsters who live in our home
There's only me - and my family
Who live in our home
'cos, there are no monsters that live here!
Hey You! ....Boo!
Did you hear that sound?
Is it a monster that I've found?
There are no monsters who live in our home
There's only me - and my family
Who live in our home
'cos, there are no monsters that live here!
Hey You! ....Boo!
Did you see that there?
Is it a monster standing over there?
There are no monsters who live in our home
There's only me - and my family
Who live in our home
'cos, there are no monsters that live here!
Hey You! ....Boo!
Did you see that there?
Is it a monster standing over there?
There are no monsters who live in our home
There's only me - and my family
Who live in our home
'cos, there are no monsters that live here!
13.《Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Sheep》:這是一首為數不多的有點傷感的兒歌,Little Bo Peep丟了她的sheep,不知所措。
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find her
Leave her alone and she'll come home
Wagging her tail behind her
Little Bo Peep she searched for her sheep
But didn't quite know how to find her
She looked everywhere
From here to there
But still didn't know where to find her!
Little Bo Peep she searched for her sheep
But didn't quite know how to find her
She looked everywhere
From here to there
But still didn't know where to find her!
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find her
Leave her alone and she'll come home
Wagging her tail behind her
14.《Driving In My Car Song》是Little Baby Bum原創的兒歌,一首歌告訴孩子開車相關的知識,這點上有點類似《The wheel on the bus》。
Let's drive in the car
Let's buckle our seat belts and vroom off
Let's drive in the car
We can go any place that's close or far
So many things to see
Won't you come with me!
Let's drive in the car
Let's buckle our seat belts and vroom off
Let's drive in the car
We can go any place that's close or far
So many things to see
Won't you come with me!
Let's drive in the car
Let's buckle our seat belts and vroom off
Let's drive in the car
We can go any place that's close or far
So many things to see
Won't you come with me!
15.《Where Did You Go! _ Hide and Seek》:捉迷藏兒歌,適合3歲以上,跟小朋友或者家長學習玩捉迷藏的遊戲前聽。
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...coming! ready or not!!]
Count 1 to 10 without a peek
You go hide! And then I seek!
Where d'you go? Where d'you hide?
You're not in the places I tried!
I look over here, I look over there
I look up and down and everywhere!
You're good at this, where did you go?
Are you here? yes, yes, yes....no!
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...coming! ready or not!!]
Count 1 to 10 without a peek
You go hide! And then I seek!
Where d'you go? Where d'you hide?
You're not in the places I tried!
I look over here, I look over there
I look up and down and everywhere!
You're good at this, where did you go?
Are you here? yes, yes, yes....no!
通過聽歌,學習顏色、英文字母、數字等:
16.《Numbers Song for Children - 1 to 20 Number Train》:非常討巧的用小火車,帶出了20個數字,而且每個數字還用筆寫出來。當然語速非常緩慢,適合孩子觀看和模仿。
17.《The Color Train Song! 》:同樣是非常討巧的用小火車,帶出了red、yellow、blue、orange、green、purple、pink、brown、black、white9種基礎色,語速非常緩慢,重複了兩次,非常適合孩子學習。
18.《ABC Song _ Alphabet Song _ A to Z for Children》:Little Baby Bum這個版本的優點是語速非常緩慢,而且把字母放到了孩子們喜歡的氣球上,有助於孩子集中注意力。缺點是只有26個字母,不像其他的字母兒歌那樣,每個字母都帶一個常見的英文單詞。
④ 超長時間版本Little Baby Bum兒歌
Little Baby Bum官方還把自己的視頻,集合成了超長版本,這裡也推薦爸爸媽媽們下載下來,尤其適合放到電視上給孩子看,下載地址關注公眾號後,回復English Song或者lbb獲取就可以了。
其實關於單曲和超長合集,我自己分別是在這樣的不同場景下使用的:
英文兒歌單曲,適合我拿著手機、iPad給孩子邊聽邊學。
每部大概1小時左右的歌曲合集,適合我直接在電視上給孩子播放,當背景音。
⑤ 後續的更新計劃,爭取一網打盡YouTube上最火的英文兒歌頻道
Little Baby Bum算是YouTube上前兩名的兒歌頻道,其他的兒歌頻道也各具特色,我後面會把最火的以及最適合中國孩子學英文的兒歌頻道逐個做介紹,並且分享下載他們的視頻。
這裡先簡單列幾個比較有代表性的:
1.Mother Goose Club:這個頻道幾乎所有的兒歌都有真人在跳舞,非常的歡樂:
2.CVS 3D Rhymes:這是一家印度公司運營的兒歌頻道,裡面的卡通形象都很有印度風情,裡面的音樂也偶爾能聽到咖喱味。
他們的《The Wheel On The Bus》裡面的小動物都不系安全帶,非常有第三世界國家的特色。
但是這個問題,被我兒子發現了一個勁問我為什麼,我只能回答這樣做是不對的,不過他們是小動物,在表演坐車,所以忽略了安全帶,但是這樣做是不對的:
3.Make Calbe Laugh:這個頻道嚴格說不算是兒歌頻道,而且訂閱量也只有29.6萬,和其他的幾個上百萬的沒法比,但是這個頻道最好的一點是由非英語國家的一對夫婦創辦的,他們想自己的孩子在YouTube上學英文,就自己做了英文視頻(偉大的爸爸媽媽),他們視頻的最大特點,就是把孩子日常玩的魔術貼,橡皮泥,奇趣蛋,樂高積木,迪士尼皮克斯汽車,多美卡合金車等玩具,做成了學英語視頻,這樣孩子在學英語的過程中,完全沒有「學習」,而是「玩和歡樂」,他們相信,這些視頻既然適合他們的孩子學英文,也適合其他的孩子學英文:
4.CHU CHU TV:目前已經是YouTube訂閱量最大的兒歌頻道了,也是來自印度的兒歌頻道。
5.Super Simple Songs:加拿大的兒歌頻道,畫風比較豐富,有真人動畫也有純動畫。
6.其他的,我訂閱了大概有30個兒歌頻道,都各具特色,一個個來吧
